"Working with agencies on Cappeh"

At Cappeh, we understand that businesses frequently seek dependable, proficient, and scalable service providers for their long-term projects and continuous outsourcing requirements. Recognizing the challenges in distinguishing between Sellers and agencies, we are implementing solutions to assist businesses in more effectively identifying and selecting agencies.

What is an agency?

An agency is akin to a company that delivers professional services through a unified entity, equipped with a diverse set of skills and extensive experience, thereby offering a comprehensive array of services and solutions. Unlike Sellers, agencies have the capacity to handle multiple large-scale projects and clients concurrently, allowing for scalability.

Identifying an Agency

To address the issue of identifying agencies, we are implementing several tools to enhance the user experience.

1. New agency identification card

Nous introduisons une toute nouvelle carte d'agence dans nos listings. Lorsqu'un client recherche ou explore un service, il trouvera une nouvelle carte d'agence qui le dirigera vers la page de l'agence. Cette carte contient des informations pertinentes sur l'agence. Cette carte se reconnaît à sa taille (deux fois la taille d'une carte de prestation).
Nous avons également mis à jour le design de la carte de prestation standard. Si vous souhaitez identifier rapidement une agence, vous pouvez rechercher le nouveau préfixe "Nous sommes" dans le nom du freelance.

2. Agency Page

The agency page is a newly introduced section that delivers comprehensive details about an agency, assisting businesses in making informed decisions. This page offers insights into the agency's personnel, team dynamics, core values, areas of expertise, and previous projects.

3. New entry point

The Navigation bar and Category page now feature new entry points for agencies, enhancing the search and browsing experience. These tools help businesses refine their choices and locate agencies that meet their project needs. This page showcases the updated browsing experience and provides a novel method for discovering agencies.

4. Filter

An improved filter titled “Seller type” has been introduced to enable our customers to efficiently filter and locate agencies. These tools are designed to assist businesses in refining their choices and discovering agencies that meet their project criteria. Presently, Cappeh is expanding its offerings to include agencies in the Digital Marketing, Programming and Tech, Graphics & Design, and Video and Animation sectors. Additional categories will be incorporated, so please stay tuned for updates in the coming months.

Advantages of Selecting an Agency

Collaborating with an agency on Cappeh offers numerous benefits: - Access to a comprehensive suite of services through a single entity. - Capability to manage large-scale projects. - Opportunity for further growth and scaling.

Processus de vérification de l'agence

To guarantee the reliability and competence of agencies on our platform, we are instituting a rigorous vetting procedure. This initiative seeks to uphold the quality of services provided by agencies and cultivate a trustworthy environment for businesses.

Travailler avec des freelances

The newly developed agency tool offers an additional option for your projects while maintaining the current functionalities for Sellers. You are encouraged to collaborate with the most suitable Seller for your needs, whether they are independent or part of an agency.

Scheduling a meeting 

One advantage of collaborating with an agency is the availability of a meeting scheduling tool. Agencies typically manage larger projects that necessitate video meetings to ensure project alignment. This meeting is complimentary, and we encourage you to engage with your Seller prior to the commencement of the project.

2. Is my personal information safe?

La tua privacy e di fondamentale importanza per noi. In quanto membro della comunità di Cappeh, ci impegniamo a proteggere i tuoi dati personali. Applichiamo diverse misure tecnologiche e organizzative per salvaguardare i tuoi dati e garantire i tuoi diritti.
Scopri di piu sulla Politica sulla Privacy di Cappeh, che fa parte dei nostri Termini di Servizio.
 
3. Can I pay my Seller directly?

All transactions are securely facilitated via Cappeh on the designated order page, with advance payments required from buyers. It is crucial to note that Cappeh will not provide support for any transactions conducted outside the platform. If you are requested to use a different payment method, please report it to Customer Service immediately.

1. How do I buy a Gig using the mobile app?

On the Gig page, select "Continue". 
Enhance your order by choosing "Add Gig extras" or increasing the "Extra quantity".
Proceed by clicking on Continue to reach the Payment page.
Finalize your purchase with your chosen payment method or activate "Single click payments" for automatic order creation.

2. What are Gig Extras and Gig multiples?

Gig Extras

Additional services are provided alongside a Seller's Gig for an extra fee, as determined by the Seller.

Gig Multiples

This refers to your option to purchase additional quantities of a Seller's Gig

In both cases:

If you increase the quantity, it does not automatically adjust the delivery timeframe. Practically, the Seller might require additional time to fulfill the order due to the extra work involved. It is strongly advised to communicate with your Seller beforehand to clarify any deadline expectations and ensure timely delivery of your order.

3. What are my payment options when using the mobile app?
You have the option to purchase Gigs using PayPal or a credit card. For iOS users, Apple Pay is available, while Google Pay is accessible for Android users. To simplify the payment process, you can enable single-click payments to avoid logging into your PayPal account for every transaction. Alternatively, you may choose to log into PayPal for each purchase.

4. How do I use a promo code?
If you possess a promotional code, kindly apply it during the checkout procedure.

To apply Promo Codes:

Click "Proceed to order" on the Gig you wish to purchase.
Customize your order (optional) > Proceed to payment.
Before finalizing your order, click "Enter promo code" beneath your order's summary > Apply > Place Your Order.
Note: Promo codes cannot be applied to an ongoing order—meaning they cannot be added retroactively. Once the order is placed without applying the promo code, it cannot be added afterward. 
 
5. How to add feedback as a buyer?

Log in and select "Orders" from the top navigation menu. At the top of the orders page, a banner stating 'Your order was completed' will be displayed. Click the "Rate Experience" button located within the banner.

6. How do I leave my Seller a tip?

Upon completion of an order, you are presented with the opportunity to tip your Seller. This option remains available for 30 days after order completion. Three tip options are provided: offering a custom tip to your Seller, leaving a review of their work, or simply expressing your gratitude with a "thanks."

7. How much can I tip my Seller?

The following limitations are implemented to prevent fraud:
The minimum tip amount is $5.
For orders below $25, the maximum tip allowed is $25.
For orders above $25, the tip can be up to 100% of the order amount.
Upon selecting "Tip now," the tip will be deducted from your Cappeh balance. If there are insufficient funds, you will be redirected to the payment page.
Note: A service fee applies to all transactions, including tips. 
 
8. Why does Cappeh charge tipping fees?

The service fee applied to tips helps offset the administrative costs associated with processing payments and maintaining our platform. Imposing a fee on tips also deters potential manipulation, where reduced gig prices could be employed to circumvent standard fees. This strategy aids in Cappeh's ongoing enhancements and customer support.

9. Why was my payment declined?

Payments may be declined for various reasons. Please ensure that: - Your payment details are entered correctly. - Your credit or debit card is valid and not expired. - You have sufficient funds available on your card. Note: Your chosen payment source can provide more information on why your payment was declined, so consult with your bank or PayPal if issues persist. If you continue to experience payment issues: - Consider using an alternative payment method. For example, if you're using PayPal, try using a credit card. - If problems persist, contact Customer Support.

10. What is the difference between Cappeh balance and Cappeh credits?

Your Cappeh balance indicates the available funds in your account. There are three types of funds:
Earnings
Funds you have acquired from fulfilling orders as a Seller
Reimbursements
Funds credited to your account for canceled orders
Previous Reimbursements
Funds credited to your account for orders canceled before January 1, 2019. As fees for services and taxes were not included in these reimbursements, you will not incur these charges again when placing a new order. 

Keep in mind:
Cappeh Credits are displayed in your account and represent the funds granted to you by Cappeh, for instance, through the Cappeh referral program. These credits can be exclusively used to purchase services on Cappeh. Please remain mindful of the expiration date, as these Credits are non-refundable. When you place a new order, Cappeh Credits will be applied first.

11. Can I withdraw money from my Cappeh account?

Les Sellers peuvent uniquement retirer de l'argent de leurs comptes Cappeh s'ils ont généré des revenus à travers Cappeh. 
En tant qu'acheteur, si votre commande est annulée, les fonds (le montant de la commande initiale et les frais de service) apparaîtront dans votre solde Cappeh et pourront être utilisés pour un autre achat. Si vous préférez recevoir un remboursement direct, vous pouvez en faire la demande ici.
Découvrez-en plus avec Comment utiliser mon solde Cappeh pour des achats futurs.
 
12. Where is my order?

Payments may not result in an immediate order. Transactions are pre-screened by your payment processor or bank before the funds are released to Cappeh. Additionally, there may be a technical issue with the payment processor delaying the transfer of funds to Cappeh. In such cases, please contact Customer Support with the following information:
Your PayPal purchase transaction ID: Payments have alphanumeric strings following a hashtag (Example: #123ABC456DEF). You can find transaction IDs in your receipt email or in your PayPal account under the "details" of the payment. Including receipt numbers can also be helpful, so please provide them if possible.
The Gig title or Seller name
The total purchase amount
Customer Support will attempt to restore the order with the provided payment details, or process a refund to the payment provider if necessary.

13. How do I cancel my order?

We strongly recommend attempting to resolve matters with your Seller through the Resolution Center. For further details, please refer to resolving issues with an order.

14. Does my refund include the service fee?

Indeed, Cappeh will refund the full amount of your purchase to your Cappeh balance. Should you prefer the funds be returned to your PayPal account or credit card rather than to your Cappeh balance, please request a refund here. For more information on refunds, please refer to this article.

15. What is commercial use?

The term "commercial use" refers to the utilization of work provided by a Seller for any business-related purposes intended to generate profit. This involves the service's licensing details, ensuring you possess the resale rights to the service. For instance, a logo. Without these commercial rights, a company cannot trademark a logo.

 16. Do I own what is delivered to me?

Unless explicitly specified otherwise in the Gig's description, upon delivery of the order, you are granted all intellectual property rights. This encompasses, but is not limited to, copyrights for the work delivered by the Seller, who relinquishes all moral rights thereto. The transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the buyer are contingent upon complete payment for the Gig. For further details on material ownership, please refer to our Terms of Service under the Ownership section.

17. How do I download attachments and files?

Upon receiving messages, you can download any attached files, which also applies when accepting deliveries from Sellers. If you encounter issues downloading files to your computer, consider the following solutions:
Check your browser extensions (additional features for your web browser).
Ensure no firewall or antivirus software is blocking downloads.
Clear your browser's cache/cookies (temporary files in your browser).
Verify if a pop-up blocker is enabled; if so, disable it for Cappeh.com.
After confirming these steps, visit your order page and click the file or link in the delivery message. When you receive your order's delivery, be sure to download the full-sized file. Copying the preview thumbnail from the order page will result in very low-quality images.
 
General FAQs

1. What are milestones?

Milestones enable a Seller to divide projects into manageable segments, often utilized for larger and more intricate assignments. They allow you to monitor progress and approve deliverables throughout the project's execution. Milestones are available only for orders exceeding $100.
Example: You commission a logo design > Your Seller divides the order into 6 milestones > The first milestone comprises 3 initial concepts > the second milestone involves a draft of your chosen logo > and continues in this manner until final delivery includes all necessary files for the complete order.
Learn more about Milestones.

2. Why is there a watermark on my delivery?

This measure is implemented to safeguard the Seller's work. Upon delivery of your order by a Seller, a watermark will appear on the image preview. Once you accept the delivery, you can download the original image without the watermark.

3. What does it mean if a Seller has activated their 'Set availability'?

This indicates that the Seller is on a temporary hiatus from Cappeh. Their anticipated return date is displayed on their profile and Gig pages. You can reach out to the Seller by selecting "Contact" and choose to be notified when their leave is expected to end. If permitted by the Seller, you will receive an email notification upon their return.

4. What is the difference between the app and the site?

The Cappeh mobile app enables customers to browse all the Gigs offered on Cappeh.com. Customers can communicate with each other through the app on the go to help create and manage orders. Future updates will include more features that are exclusive to the full site.

5. Does Cappeh reach out to its customers?

"7 tasks you should outsource to Sellers right away"

Whether you are managing a large corporation, leading a complex team, or operating a small business, one principle holds: There are only 24 hours in a day. Although some individuals attempt it, it is neither feasible nor advisable to work all 24 hours each day. Ultimately, you will need to delegate and outsource tasks to avoid burnout and serious health problems.

If your team is approaching burnout and you're uncertain about whom to delegate tasks or outsource work, consider leveraging the capabilities of Sellers.

The advantages of outsourcing tasks to Sellers at this moment

Outsourcing to Sellers presents a strategic advantage whether you are self-employed, managing a rapidly expanding startup, or operating within any scenario in between. If you have yet to consider delegating tasks to Sellers, now is an optimal time to start. The freelance workforce has surged, simplifying the process of connecting with high-caliber Sellers. For instance, on platforms such as Cappeh, we have introduced Cappeh Business, which allows you to explore a curated group of Sellers, specifically vetted for business projects, to enhance your team’s capabilities. Collaborating with Sellers has become significantly more manageable than it once was. Millions of skilled professionals have embraced freelancing as a sustainable career path, thereby offering business owners and team leaders the opportunity to leverage a vast and ever-improving pool of freelance expertise.

Tasks to delegate to Sellers immediately

Considering this, we aim to enlighten you on certain tasks that should be promptly ceased and delegated to Sellers. There is no restriction on the number of Sellers you can engage to liberate your time for more crucial, revenue-generating activities.

Here are some initial ideas to consider:

Blogging & Content Creation

Managing content for a blog or YouTube channel can be quite overwhelming due to the extensive amount of work involved. Fortunately, many of the tasks related to blogging and content creation can be efficiently outsourced to Sellers.
Social Media Management & Promotion
If you are running a business or managing a team, your schedule is already demanding. Allocating your valuable time to posting on Instagram is not advisable. Instead, it is more effective to outsource various elements of your social media marketing strategy to skilled Sellers.

Email Management

An Adobe report from a few years back revealed that the average employee spends more than 3 hours daily on email. However, did you know that managing your inbox can be outsourced? A skilled Seller can efficiently handle tasks such as filtering out unnecessary emails or junk and responding to frequently requested items using templates.

Customer Service

If you are operating a small company, maintaining communication with your customers is essential for your success. However, this does not mean you must personally handle all customer service tasks at all times. Consider outsourcing some of the more common requests, such as forgotten passwords, to a skilled Seller.

Data Entry

Inputting data into forms, spreadsheets, or other software at the workplace is often an inefficient use of time, particularly when there are more pressing tasks to address. Delegating data entry tasks to a Seller at a low cost can be a more effective solution.

Graphic Design

If you are dedicating several hours a week to graphic design tasks, such as creating internal flyers or social media graphics, it is imperative to engage a freelance designer immediately. You will quickly realize that they can complete these projects with superior quality in significantly less time.

Project Management

Finally, if you find yourself spending excessive time on project management software, consider outsourcing these tasks to a Seller. Many Sellers are familiar with the same project management applications used by your team and can immediately begin contributing effectively. There's no need for you to spend your time moving tasks around, tagging individuals missing deadlines, or constantly monitoring numerous to-dos. Instead, delegate these responsibilities to a Seller who can help maintain your team’s focus and efficiency.

The possibilities are endless

Certainly, this is merely scratching the surface. Cappeh allows you to delegate virtually any task to a skilled Seller capable of completing it effectively. Be innovative. Try out various tasks and collaborate with different Sellers. Before long, you will experience enhanced mental clarity, a less cluttered schedule, and a flourishing business. The only constraint is your own imagination.

"5 things you didn’t know a Seller can do"

2. Dropshipping

Online e-commerce has been consistently growing (even prior to COVID-19), with total sales increasing from $1.33 billion in 2014 to $3.54 billion in 2019. As more businesses transition to selling products online, the demand for dropshipping services has risen. Dropshipping offers fulfillment services for online sales, alleviating the burden and costs associated with maintaining inventory and handling shipping logistics for retailers. If you are interested in establishing a dropshipping store but are unsure where to begin, Sellers can assist you with all five necessary steps to launch your business:
Develop a dropshipping website
Identify the optimal product(s) to sell
Design product pages with high-quality images, descriptions, and videos
Manage your e-commerce site while providing excellent customer service
Promote your dropshipping site using SEO, social media, and mobile marketing campaigns

3. AR Filters & Lenses

If your target audience comprises individuals, then they are present on social media platforms. Channels such as Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook provide augmented reality (AR) filters for user interaction and sharing. With options ranging from virtual makeup and false eyelashes to sunglasses and animated animal features, AR filters and lenses are gaining significant traction. Many social media sites now invite creators and designers to develop custom filters and effects. This scenario offers a significant opportunity for brands and companies to enhance brand awareness, engage with consumers, and expand their reach by designing proprietary AR filters and lenses. Engaging a Seller to craft AR filters can facilitate a swift adaptation to this burgeoning trend, ensuring your brand remains relevant and competitive with your target audience.

4. eLearning

The global pandemic of 2020 drastically transformed the educational landscape worldwide. Although eLearning and virtual schooling were existing concepts, their significance has intensified as educators and institutions increasingly depend on these methods to connect with students. Initiating eLearning may appear challenging; however, freelance experts are available to support in developing eLearning content and producing videos and animations—ranging from creating quizzes and converting PowerPoint presentations into videos to crafting comprehensive curricula and interactive lesson plans.

5. Translation

Did you know that 67.3 million people in the U.S. speak a language other than English at home? Although some of these individuals are highly proficient in English, approximately 9% of the U.S. population is not. This presents a significant opportunity for brands and companies to engage with an audience in their native language. If you don’t have an individual who is fluent enough to translate your website and other customer-centric materials, consider hiring a professional Seller for translation services.

Expand Your Capabilities with Sellers

From small enterprises to major corporations, engaging Sellers is an excellent method to enhance your team's capabilities and skills without the commitments involved in hiring a full-time employee. Discover freelance talent for these five tasks, among many others, on Cappeh.

"6 Tips for Finding the Right Voice Over Artist for Your Next Project"

Whether you're creating a promotional video, game, or any other audio project, selecting the appropriate voice-over artist is essential. The individual chosen will represent your brand's voice. A skilled voice-over (VO) artist can enhance your project's emotional impact and leave a lasting impression. Conversely, an unsuitable choice can be detrimental. Understanding what to consider when hiring a voice-over artist can streamline your selection process and help you find the ideal candidate. Begin with these six tips.

1. Comprehend What You’re Seeking

Antes de sumergirte directamente y comenzar a escuchar demos, es importante que te tomes un momento para reflexionar sobre lo que realmente necesitas. Empieza elaborando una lista de los rasgos emocionales que se alineen con tu marca. Por ejemplo, ¿buscas a alguien que sea divertido y juguetón? ¿O alguien que inspire sentimientos de seguridad y estabilidad?
Al empezar a buscar talento de doblaje, podrás reducir tus opciones basándote en quienes más probablemente despierten las emociones correctas.

2. Listen to Numerous Demonstrations

Professional voice-over artists typically possess multiple demos of their work. It is advisable to listen to several samples from each artist under consideration. This process will provide insights into their range and versatility, and enable you to determine if their previous work aligns with your target demographic. Given the abundance of available voice-over artists, it is important to evaluate a variety before reaching a decision.

3. Conduct Testing with Your Target Market

Once you have selected a few artists you admire, invest time in conducting tests to determine if they genuinely appeal to your target demographic. For a smaller, local audience, a handful of tests should provide a reliable answer. Conversely, if you are executing national campaigns with broader audiences, consider extending the duration of the testing phase.

4. Inquire Regarding Availability

Lors de la planification de l'embauche de votre artiste voix-off pour un travail continu, assurez-vous de vérifier leur disponibilité. Dans ce cas, il se peut que vous deviez collaborer avec eux sur plusieurs mois, voire une année ou plus. La dernière chose que vous souhaitez est de commencer votre projet avec un excellent artiste VO, pour découvrir trop tard qu'il ne peut pas répondre à vos besoins continus. Poser cette question dès le départ peut vous aider à éviter toute déception future.

5. Solicitar Tarifas y Precios

Although price should not be the sole determining factor, the rates of a voice-over artist can assist you in evaluating their suitability. An experienced professional usually offers competitive rates that align with industry standards.
When requesting quotes, pay attention to indications that the artist is well-informed about the industry. For instance, they might discuss buyout options, usage periods, and other factors that could influence the final cost.

6. Take a Long-Term Approach

Finally, it is important to adopt a strategic long-term perspective when selecting voice-over talent. Instead of concentrating only on the immediate project, consider how the artist will integrate with your brand in the long run. Customers often develop an attachment to a brand's voice, so it is crucial to select someone whose values align with your brand and who can effectively represent you for years to come.

"Seller Coupons for buyers"

Seller Coupons are a means for Cappeh sellers to acknowledge and reward their preferred buyers by providing a discount on an order. These Coupons are exclusively available to Seller Plus members. Sellers are allotted a limited number of Coupons each month, so receiving a Seller Coupon indicates that you are considered highly valued.

Seller Coupons received by e-mail/notifications

Coupons provided by a seller with whom you previously made a purchase are valid for 30 days. To redeem a Seller Coupon received via email or notification: 1. Click on one of the seller's Gigs, or navigate to their Profile Page. You can also use the link from the email or notification received. 2. On the seller’s Profile Page and the respective Gig, a banner will display the discount information. 3.

Should you choose to remove it, Cappeh will retain it for potential future use.

Seller Coupons received in a Custom Offer

Coupons issued by a seller as part of a Custom Offer are valid for a period of 24 hours. These coupons will be automatically applied to the Custom Offer. To utilize a Seller Coupon received as part of a Custom Offer, simply accept the Offer.

Gig discounts for first-time buyers

A first-time buyer promotion is a way for Cappeh sellers to offer a special Gig discount to buyers they haven’t worked with before.

How it works

Certain gigs provide a special discount for buyers who have never previously ordered from the seller. This promotion is restricted to specific gigs chosen by the seller (excluding Custom Offers) and is applicable only to orders priced at $15 USD or more. Note: This first-time buyer promotion cannot be combined with Seller Coupons or any other discounted rates.

What the promotion looks like

1. If a seller is providing a promotion, it will be visible when you access their Gig page directly.
2. The promotion details will appear in a pop-up window.
3. The pop-up will contain all pertinent information, including the discount percentage and the expiration date.
Note: Some promotions may conclude before the listed expiration date.
4. The promotional price will be automatically applied to your order.
The discounted amount will be reflected on the Payment page.

Seller Coupon Terms:

All Cappeh Terms of Service are applicable. Seller Coupons are issued directly by sellers to buyers, not by Cappeh. These coupons are valid only for transactions on Cappeh with the issuing seller and are subject to a time limitation based on the type of coupon. Seller Coupons are restricted to one use per buyer, are personal, and cannot be transferred. They are solely for the recipient buyer's use. Seller Coupons cannot be used in conjunction with any other Cappeh promotions, including Cappeh Credits or Cappeh Promo Codes. For orders involving one or more milestones, as well as Gig Subscriptions or other recurring services, the Seller Coupon is applicable only to the initial payment. If an order placed with a Seller Coupon is cancelled for any reason, the coupon becomes void. In the case of Cappeh Pro accounts, the Seller Coupon is available only to the team member who placed the order; other team members do not have access to use the coupon.

"Sellers are your solution to the "great resignation"

According to a new report from Monster.com, an astounding 95% of employees are contemplating a job change.

Various factors motivate their desire to move on. During the pandemic, many employees remained in roles they were not passionate about to ensure financial stability. However, with the job market significantly tightening—evidenced by the 9.2 million job openings nationwide as of late May—workers now feel more at ease pursuing career changes.

Some individuals are contemplating permanent withdrawal from the workforce. Approximately 3 million workers aged over 55 are considering early retirement, made more attainable by the flourishing stock and real estate markets [Source (2)].

Other employees are temporarily stepping away from work. According to a poll by Morning Consult, 65% of Americans are prepared to embark on trips they had previously delayed [Source (3)]. Additionally, one survey indicates that a third of workers intend to take more than three weeks of vacation this year [Source (4)].

This mass departure from the workforce, often referred to as the "Great Resignation," has already commenced [Source (5)]. In April, an unprecedented 4 million Americans resigned from their jobs [Source (6)]. By May, the most recent month for which data is available, 3.6 million had departed from their employers [Source (7)].

Este índice de rotación sin duda generará problemas para los profesionales de recursos humanos en todo el país. Ahí es donde entra Cappeh Business.

Understaffed companies are not the only entities that value the expertise and adaptability of Sellers. Sellers are progressively becoming essential to the success of businesses, both large and small.

The content is in English. Here is the professional rewrite: "Numerous individuals already favor selecting their work schedules and choosing the projects they undertake. This trend is likely to expand post-pandemic, as many workers have acclimated to remote work and are seeking organizations that provide more flexible work options. A recent study suggests that by 2027, Sellers could comprise over 50% of the total U.S. workforce [Source (12)]."

With the sector undergoing rapid expansion, the question facing HR professionals is no longer if they should use Sellers, but how to do so effectively. Cappeh Business provides the collaborative solution that human resources departments have been seeking.

"Hiring Sellers is the "new normal" statistics say"

As the world closely monitors the increasing availability of vaccines and hopes for a swift return to pre-Covid-19 normalcy, one question prevails: What will this “new normal” entail?
Regarding the workplace, it is evident that the “new normal” will differ significantly from pre-pandemic life. Numerous major brands are adopting long-term or indefinite remote work policies. Some companies are even relinquishing their office leases, choosing instead to save millions in overhead costs. Amidst this substantial transformation, freelance and contract work have surged to unprecedented levels.
With the rise of skilled Sellers and increased corporate budgets for hiring contractors, the pandemic has fostered ideal conditions for the freelance economy. This situation presents significant opportunities for both Sellers and businesses.

A surge in Sellers

In 2020, there was an unprecedented increase in new freelance talent. With approximately 400 million jobs lost in the second quarter of that year, many individuals turned to freelancing as an alternative to the traditional 9-to-5 job. This trend has contributed to the significant growth of freelancing platforms over the past year. Officially, at least 2 million people joined the freelance workforce in 2020.
Primarily, these are not part-time or unskilled Sellers. Many directors and even C-Level executives, who were tired of the long hours at the office, have chosen more flexible, remote work opportunities as Sellers or fractional employees. This development is not surprising, given that in 2011, McKinsey research estimated that 58% of U.S. companies would be inclined to use Sellers in high-level roles in the future. With the freelance industry valued at over $1.2 trillion, it's understandable why an increasing number of Sellers are eager to be part of it.

More companies hiring Sellers than ever

Certainly, it's not only the number of individuals opting for freelancing that's rising significantly as we adapt to a "new normal." More companies than ever are engaging Sellers for various roles. This is just one of the many positive aspects Sellers are experiencing during the pandemic.
The numbers are remarkable. In the second quarter of 2020, shortly after the pandemic hit the U.S., one report shows that online freelance job postings increased by 41%. At Cappeh, we observed a 44% year-over-year increase, driven by more clients investing more in freelance projects. This was merely in the first quarter of 2020.
We have also witnessed a significant uptick in companies joining our platform to recruit Sellers. Furthermore, we have experienced growth in our high-value buyers, who now account for 58% of our revenues.

What does this mean?

So what do these growing stats mean for the freelance industry?
For Sellers, the current market offers abundant opportunities. A skilled individual can earn a substantial income by working independently. If you have a talent or skill and wish to generate extra income or launch a full-time freelance business, the timing has never been more favorable. Numerous clients are seeking Sellers to address gaps left by layoffs or furloughs. Various emerging industries require part-time assistance, and many possess robust budgets to invest in a freelance team.

For businesses, this signifies a growing trend of companies relying on Sellers as a practical solution for accomplishing critical tasks. Engaging Sellers translates to reduced overhead expenses and lower project costs. It requires minimal onboarding, provides fewer benefits, potentially involves lower wages, and often utilizes a workforce that can complete projects around the clock. If you have yet to explore hiring Sellers, now is the opportune moment to adopt this strategy. Join countless peers and companies worldwide who leverage Sellers to complete essential tasks and propel their businesses forward. This is the "new normal," and it promises significant benefits.
